'CHuRN-DASHER.

SPECIFICATION forming partbf Letters Patent No. 252,335, dated January 17, 1882.

` Application ined september 10,1881. (Model.)

To all, whom 'it may concern:

'Be it Aknown that we, ANDREW J. TAYLOR.-

and MILO A. HAMILTON, of Frankfort, in the county-OfMarshall and State of Kansas?, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurn-Dashers; and we do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

The' object of this invention is to provide a churu-dasher by means of which air can be forced into the cream during the operation of churning, thereby greatly facilitating the process of making butter. This object we attain by means of the device. hereinafter described,

`and illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which- 'l Figure 1 is a side elevation Of the churndasher, and Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of the same.

The dasher comprisesatubular body, A, having at its lower-end a perforated conical shell, B. The tubular body has an enlarged upper end, a., to which is fitted a cap, C, having a central perforation, c, through its top. Said upper enlarged end, a, has an annular seat or flange, a', at its upper portion, and upon this seat is arranged an annular disk carrying a downwardly-Opening valve, D, which is hinged to said disk d, having a central opening somewhat smaller than the valve.

A strap, d', se-

cured to this annular disk, passes below the valve, so as to limit the downward movement.l of the same. Within said cap a is also arranged a washer, E, to prevent leakage, and also a. fine wire-gauze disk, F, which will preclude the entrance of dust to the valve. As 4o the dasher is raised the valve will open and air will enter its tubular body to supply the vacuum created. When, however, the dasher descends the resistance of the inclosed body of air will close the valve, and hence the air will be expelled from the lower end of the flasher, and, passing out through the perforations of the lower conical end of the dasher, will thoroughly impregnate the cream.

What we claim is- The churn-dasher comprisinga tubular body having a perforated conical lower end, and an enlarged upper end provided with a perforated screw-cap, in combination with the valve and the wire-gauze disk inclosed within the cap at ANDREW J. TAYLOR. MILO A. HAMILTON.
